Sans rival is a Filipino dessert cake made of layers of buttercream , meringue and chopped cashews . Its name means "unrivaled" in French. The cake may be decorated, left plain or garnished with pistachios .

The cake's origins are disputed. One source claims the recipe has its roots in the French dacquoise , ^[1] while Lucy Torres-Gomez , writing in The Philippine Star , claims that the cake is descended from the tarta imperial rusa , the Spanish adaptation of a Russian cake that was popular with the Russian Imperial Family . ^[2]

A similar, smaller version of this recipe is called a silvana .
